oil FIAT SPIDER ABARTH 2017 Owner's Manual

Clean the webbing with a mild soap
solution recommended for upholstery or
carpets. Follow instructions. Do not
bleach or dye the belts, this may
weaken them.
After cleaning the belts, thoroughly dry
the belt webbing and make sure there
is no remaining moisture before
retracting them.
Plastic And Coated
Parts
Clean interior plastic parts with a damp
cloth (if possible made from microfiber),
and a solution of water and neutral,
non-abrasive detergent.
To clean oily or persistent stains, use
specific products free from solvents and
designed to maintain the original
appearance and color of the
components.
Remove any dust using a microfiber
cloth, if necessary moistened with
water. The use of paper tissues is not
recommended as these may leave
residues. Instrument panel precautions
Prevent caustic solutions such as
perfume and cosmetic oils from
contacting the instrument panel. They
will damage and discolor the instrument
panel. If these solutions get on the
instrument panel, wipe them off
immediately.
Note: Never use alcohol, gasoline and
derivatives to clean the instrument
panel lens.
Caution!Do not use glazing agents. Glazing agents
contain ingredients which may cause
discoloration, wrinkling, cracks and peeling.
Instrument Panel Top
When cleaning, it is recommended that
you use a clean towel dampened in a
mild detergent to remove debris.
Caution!If the surface is rubbed harshly, it could
result in the surface being damaged leaving
white scratch marks. Window Interiors
If the windows become covered with an
oily, greasy, or waxy film, clean them
with glass cleaner. Follow the directions
on the container.
Note: Do not scrape or scratch the
inside of the window glass. It could
damage the thermal filaments.
Caution!When washing the inside of the window
glass, use a soft cloth dampened in
lukewarm water, gently wiping the thermal
filaments. Use of glass cleaning products
could damage the thermal filaments.

Leather Parts — If
Equipped
Caution!Do not use Alcohol and Alcohol-based
and/or Ketone based cleaning products to
clean leather seats, as damage to the seat
may result.
Remove dust and sand first using a
vacuum cleaner or other means, then
wipe dirt off using a soft cloth with a
leather cleaner or a soft cloth soaked in
mild soap.
Wipe off the remaining cleaner or soap
using a cloth soaked in clean water and
wrung out well.
Remove moisture with a dry, soft cloth
and allow the leather to further dry in a
well-ventilated, shaded area. If the leather gets wet such as from
rain, also remove moisture and dry it as
soon as possible.
Note:
Because genuine leather is a natural
material, its surface is not uniform and
it may have natural scars, scratches,
and wrinkles.
To maintain the quality for as long
as possible, periodical maintenance,
about twice a year, is recommended. Caution! Sand and dust on the seat surface may
damage the overcoat of the genuine
leather surfaces and accelerate wear
.Greasy soiling on genuine leather may
cause molding and stains.
Rubbing hard with a stiff brush or cloth
may cause damage.
Do not wipe the leather using alcohol,
chlorine bleach, or organic solvents such
as thinner, benzene, or gasoline. Otherwise,
it may cause discoloration or stains.
If the seats get wet, promptly remove
moisture with a dry cloth. Remaining
moisture on the surface may cause
deterioration such as hardening and
shrinkage.
Exposure to direct sunlight for long
periods may cause deterioration and
shrinkage. When parking the car under
direct sunlight for long periods, shade the
interior using sunshades.
Do not leave vinyl products on the seats
for long periods as they may affect the
leather quality and coloring. If the cabin
temperature becomes hot, the vinyl may
deteriorate and adhere to the genuine
leather.
